The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change the engine oil and filter based on vehicle use. Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can calculate when the next oil change is required. If a situation accurs where you change the oil prior to a CHANGE OIL SOON message being turned on, reset the system.

To reset oil service light on your vehicle Chevrolet Malibu follow this steps:

If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
